Information 

In  describing  furniture  certain  terms  are  used  which  will  be  better  understood  after  read- 
ing the  following  brief  statement  regarding  quality — design — style — construction — finish,  etc. 

“Built-up  Stock” — Is  made  by  placing  several  layers  of  thin  lumber  and  veneer  cross-wise  one  on 
the  other,  and  all  glued  together  under  immense  pressure,  and  where  this  construction  is  used 
it  is  absolutely  impossible  to  swell  or  shrink  and  gives  increased  strength  with  light  weight. 

“Quarter-sawed  Oak” — Is  produced  by  selecting  the  very  best  oak  logs.  These  logs  are  then 
quartered .'5nd  boards  cut  from  these  quartered  pieces  in  such  a manner  as  to  produce  beautiful 
flaked  grain  effects.  This  is  “quartered  oak,”  and  is  much  stronger  than  plain  sawed  oak, 
and  is  quite  expensive. 

“Anti-friction  Drawers” — Means  that  drawers  with  this  special  construction  will  never  bind  or 
stick  and  is  a feature  that  will  be  appreciated  by  those  who  have  been  annoyed  with  drawers  that 
swell  and  stick. 

“Knock-down” — (K.  D.) — Construction  means  that  a desk  so  made  can  be  quickly  taken  apart  by 
simply  removing  a few  screws — a very  desirable  feature  when  it  is  necessary  to  take  a desk 
through  a narrow  doorway,  up  stairs,  etc. 

‘ Double  Deck” — Is  a term  used  for  writing  beds  and  tops  of  roll  top  desks,  where  the  writing  bed 
and  desk  top  are  made  double  thick  giving  extra  strength  to  both  of  these  important  parts’of  a desk. 

“The  Pedestals”  of  a desk — The  two  upright  end  pieces  upon  which  the  writing  bed  rests — are 
made  in  three  regular  styles  as  follows  : 

Style  A — The  most  popular  style — has  large  drawers  in  the  left 
pedestal,  and  several  letter  files  under  lock  and  key  in  the  right  pedestal — 

(see  page  6). 

Style  B — Has  large  drawers  in  both  the  right  and  left  pedestals — 

(see  page  5). 

Style  C — Has  drawers  in  the  left  pedestal,  and  book-stalls  in  the  right 
pedestal — ( see  page  7 ) . 

“The  Macey  Pasquil  Locks”  -Are  used  in  all  roll  top  desks  for  locking  the  roll  curtain— are 
different  than  other  desk  locks  for  the  reason  that  it  is  a double-lock — locking  the  curtain  at  both 
ends  of  the  desk.  It  also  displaces  the  old  style  strike  plate  and  lock  in  the  middle  of  the 
writing  bed — this  is  the  latest  and  best  possible  desk  lock  ever  invented. 

“Automatic”  Drawer  Locks — These  locks  are  used  for  locking  and  unlocking  the  large  drawers 
in  all  desks.  In  roll  top  desks,  simply  raising  the  roll  curtain  unlocks  all  drawers,  closing  the 
curtain  locks  the  drawers.  In  the  flat  top  desks,  unlocking  the  top  drawer  in  the  pedestals 
automatically  unlocks  the  other  drawers. 

“Letter  Files”  Where  letter  files  are  included  with  the  desks  they  will  be  supplied  with  our  regular 
“Macey”  Indexes  without  extra  charge. 

“Roll  Curtains”  Are  made  by  the  latest  improved  machinery  and  methods  of  construction,  and  are 
without  doubt  the  best  made  and  most  easily  operated  curtain  ever  put  in  roll  top  desks.  All 
curtains  are  supplied  with  “Macey- Pasquil”  locks  and  extra  heavy  lock  rails  that  will  not 
sag  or  warp. 

“ Designs-Sizes-and  Styles” — The  design  and  style  of  each  desk  is  indicated  by  its  number  and 
the  size  of  each  desk  is  indicated  by  its  length,  its  width  and  its  height. 

“Anti-friction  Casters” — Are  used  on  all  desks.  None  but  the  best  casters  are  used  on  all  our 
furniture  and  the  latest  improved  “Anti-friction”  Construction  does  away  with  the  screech  of 
the  old  style  caster  and  also  makes  it  possible  to  move  the  heaviest  desk  with  ease. 

“Dust  and  Mouse  Proof” — Means  that  the  drawers  of  each  pedestal  are  protected  from  dust  and 
mice  by  means  of  a good  bottom  on  each  pedestal.  Those  who  have  been  annoyed  with  mice 
invading  desk  drawers  and  destroying  valuable  papers  will  appreciate  this  feature.  All  our 
desks  are  made  with  it. 

“Velvet  Finish” — The  beauty  of  a piece  of  furniture  depends  very  largely  on  its  finish.  This  velvet 
finish  is  produced  by  first  giving  the  natural  wood  a coat  of  stain  and  a coat  of  filler  to  secure 
the  desired  color.  It  is  next  given  a coat  of  shellac  and  then  several  coats  of  varnish.  After 
the  varnish  is  dried,  it  is  hand  rubbed  and  hand  polished  which  takes  off  the  glare  of  common 
varnished  furniture  and  gives  in  its  place  a beautiful — soft — “velvet” — satin-like  finish  that  not 
only  intensifies  the  beauty  of  the  wood  but  makes  it  easy  and  pleasant  to  look  at.  It  is  the 
ideal  finish  for  Office  and  Library  Furniture. 

The  above — together  with  our  Guarantee  and  Liberal  Terms  (seepage  1)  and  the  detailed  description 
of  each  desk  cannot  fail  to  insure  our  customers  perfect  satisfaction. 


Pigeon  Hole  File  Boxes 


We  make  four  styles  of  pigeon  hole  file  boxes  and  each  the  best  of  its  kind.  All  file  boxes  illustrated 
and  described  with  each  desk  on  the  following  pages  are  included  in  the  price  of  the  desk,  but  extra  file 
boxes  will  be  supplied  at  the  following  net  prices. 

All  file  boxes  are  made  to  fit  pigeon  holes  3 inches  high,  4 y2  inches  wide  and  10  inches  deep  (inside

Gold  Medals 

For  superiority  of  design,  material,  construction,  workmanship  and  finish  we

Style — Quality — Finish 

Good  workmanship — beautiful  woods  well  put  together —richly  finished — tastily  trimmed — and  “No 
Panels” — is  the  style  that  now  marks  all  High  Grade  desks.  It  gives  a rich — plain — substantial — yet 
elegant  effect  that  never  fails  to  please.  The  construction  also  is  more  durable  and  not  expensive.  We 
were  the  only  exhibitors  of  desks  at  the  Pan  American  and  Charleston  Expositions  using  this  style  of  con- 
struction and  for  superiority  of  design — material — construction — workmanship — and  finish,  we  received  the 
Gold  Medals — The  Highest  Awards — at  both  Expositions.  This  style  of  construction  has  also  been 
adopted  for  the  desk  of  the  President  of  the  United  States  for  his  personal  use  in  Washington — another 
good  endorsement. 

The  illustrations  on  this  and  the  following  pages  give  only  an  idea  of  the  fine  effects  produced.  The 
article  itself,  however,  must  be  seen  to  fully  appreciate  its  true  elegance,  and  our  confidence  that  the  design 
— material — construction — workmanship — finish  and  price  will  not  fail  to  please,  is  such  that  we  will  ship 
these  desks  “On  Approval”  anywhere  subject  to  our  “Liberal  Terms”  (see  page  I ).

What  I wish  to  say  is,  your  Desk  is  beyond  praise. 
There  is  not  one  cheap  thing  about  it  and  the  finish  is 
finer  than  my  Pianola,  which  costs  $250.00. 

C.  O.  Smith,  Ashtabula,  O. 

“Your  desk  came  without  a scratch.  I have  seen 
no  desk  that  is  equal  to  it  in  elegance  of  finish,  in 
beauty  of  grain  and  in  perfection  of  workmanship 
It  goes  far  beyond  my  expectations.” 

W.  A.  Bellamy,  Evansville,  Ind. 


Gold  Medals 

For  superiority  of  design,  material,  construction,  work- 
manship and  finish  we  received  the  Gold  Medal,  the  highest

RICHEST,  MATCHED,  FIGURED  QUARTERED  OAK,  GOLDEN  VELVET  FINISH. 

This  desk  is  made  as  well  as  is  possible  to  make  a high  grade  desk.  In  design  it  is  strong,  refined 
and  dignified.  It  possesses  the  many  practical  appointments  characteristic  of  a genuine  “Macey”  desk. 
It  is  well  believed  that  as  a rule  such  thoroughly  high  grade  furniture  reflects  in  a very  certain  degree  the 
quality  of  its  user.  These  desks  are  made  by  us  in  such  immense  quantities  that  we  have  brought  the 
factory  price  at  which  we  offer  them  within  the  means  of  every  one  preferring  a really  good,  practical, 
handsome,  extra  quality  office  desk. 

The  entire  writing  bed,  ends,  back  and  extension  slides  are  of  heavy  built-up  quarter-sawed  oak, 
beautifully  matched  to  produce  the  most  striking  grain  effects.  This  material  is  not  only  the  most  expen- 
sive but  the  handsomest  and  most  durable  that  can  be  used  in  a desk.  The  writing  bed  has  mitre-joint 
frame  inside — best  possible  construction.  All  drawers  varnished  inside.  Anti-friction  drawer  construc- 
tion. Double  deck  top.  Full  base  mould.  Anti-friction  casters.  All  drawers  lock  automatically  by 
lowering  the  roll  curtain  and  unlock  automatically  by  raising  the  roll  curtain.  The  entire  surface  of  this 
desk,  including  writing  bed,  is  given  our  richest  six  coat  “velvet”  golden  oak  finish  (see  page  2). 
“K.  D.”  construction  permits  this  desk  to  be  taken  through  a doorway  as  narrow  as  25  inches  by  merely 
removing  a few  screws.  Made  only  in  style  B,  with  drawers  in  both  pedestals  and  with  large  double 
drawer  for  books,  as  illustrated. 

Special  Feature — These  desks  are  also  supplied  with  the  famous  “Macey”  Pasquil  automatic 
curtain  lock,  the  prime  features  of  which  are  its  great  strength,  therefore  greater  security,  and  the  absence 
of  strike  plate  or  break  in  writing  bed.  This  is  the  most  modern  and  is,  in  every  way,  the  very  best  desk 

lock  ever  produced.  This  valuable  improvement  is  the  result  of 
many  years  of  careful  study. 

This  desk  is  made  in  Style  “B”  only  (see  page  2). 

No.  751 — Style  “B”,  72  in.  length,  (as  illustrated), Price,  $123.00

its  character  I have  yet  seen.  You  are  to  be  congratulated  upon  your 
ability  to  manufacture  such  desks  as  the  two  I have  seen  from  your

(Length  60  inches). 

LOW  ROLL  DESKS — These  desks  are  the  same  quality — style — finish,  etc.  as  those  shown  on 
pages  5,  6 and  7,  except  they  are  made  with  a low  roll  making  the  desk  45  inches  high  instead  of  51 
inches  high.  Low  roll  desks  are  largely  used  by  Bankers,  General  Overseers,  etc.,  where  it  is  desirable 
to  have  the  roll  feature  in  the  desk  for  privacy,  and  yet  have  the  desk  so  low  as  not  to  obstruct  the  view 
of  its  user.

Shipping  weight,  400  pounds. 

The  prices  above  quoted  are  for  the  desks  exactly  as  illustrated,  including  file  boxes — card  index 
drawer,  letter  files,  indexes,  complete,  etc.  See  pages  I,  2 and  3. 

The  material  used  is  selected  for  the  handsomest  grain  effects.  The  entire  writing  bed,  ends,  back 
and  extension  slides  are  of  heavy  “built  up,”  beautifully  matched  quarter-sawed  oak  which  is  the  most 
expensive  but  the  handsomest  and  most  durable  material  that  can  be  used  in  a desk.  The  writing  bed  has 
mitre-joint  frame  inside — best  possible  construction.  Full  base  mould.  Double  deck  top.  All  drawers 
varnished  inside.  Ball-bearing  casters.  The  entire  surface  of  this  desk,  including  writing  bed,  is  given 
our  rich  six-coat  piano  polish  finish.  “K.  D.”  construction  permits  this  desk  to  be  taken  through  a 
doorway  as  narrow  as  twenty-five  inches,  by  merely  removing  a few  screws.  Height,  51  inches. 

Special  Feature — These  desks  are  also  supplied 
with  the  famous  “Macey”  Pasquil  automatic  curtain  lock, 
the  prime  virtues  of  which  are  its  great  strength,  therefore 
greater  security,  and  the  absence  of  strike  plate  or  break  in 
writing  bed.  This  is  the  most  modern  and  is,  in  every 
way,  the  very  best  desk  lock  ever  produced.  This  valuable 
improvement  is  the  result  of  many  years  of  careful  study.

No.  7 D Typewriter  Desk 

CHOICE  QUARTERED  OAK,  GOLDEN  FINISH. 

Many  people  are  their  own  stenographers  and  for  them  the  combination  typewriter  and  office  desk  is  a great 
convenience  and  economizes  office  space.  For  such  this  typewriter  desk  is  beautifully  adapted  as  when  brought 
into  use  it  does  not  require  the  breaking  of  the  writing  bed  and  the  consequent  disturbing  of  papers  thereby. 
When  the  typewriter  is  not  in  use  it  is  out  of  the  way  under  lock,  thief  and  dust  proof. 

The  desk  itself  presents  an  unusually  handsome  appearance,  being  made  of  selected  quarter-sawed  oak  throughout; 
all  stock  being  carefully  selected  for  handsome  grain  effects.  The  entire  writing  bed  and  extension  slides  are  of  “built- 
up”  matched  stock,  which  is  the  most  expensive  and  the  handsomest  and  the  most  durable  material  that  can  be  used  in 
an  office  desk.  The  desk  has  a very  practical  pigeon-hole  arrangement.  Plenty  of  drawer  space.  Center  drawer  with 
lock.  Raised  panels  all  around.  Full  base  mould.  Anti-friction  casters.  The  finish  is  our  richest  golden  oak  five-coat 
polish.  Size,  54  inches  long;  30  inches  wide;  47  inches  high;  height  of  typewriter  bed  when  in  use  25  inches,  the 
correct  height.

Library  Table  and  Table  Desk 


MATCHED  QUARTERED  OAK,  SELECTED,  GOLDEN  FINISH. 

One  of  the  most  useful  and  ornamental  articles  of  home  furniture  is  the  table-desk.  This  kind  of 
furniture  is  comparatively  inexpensive  and  lends  a tone  of  richness  and  strength  to  the  library,  living  room 
or  “den  ” Just  the  right  height  for  writing,  reading  or  studying — an  abundance  of  surface  for  books  and 
papers,  plenty  of  drawer  space  for  stationery,  pen  and  ink,  etc. , where  they  may  be  had  at  any  moment. 

In  the  construction  of  these  table-desks  only  the  most  perfect  of  material  obtainable  has  been  selected  and 
the  workmanship  and  finish  is  of  course  characteristic  of  high-grade  “Macey”  furniture.  No.  21  is  an  especially 
choice  table-desk,  having  the  entire  top,  front,  back,  ends  and  even  the  edges  cross  banded  in  order  to  produce 
the  richest  possible  grain  effects.  This  table  has  five  spacious  drawers,  French  legs  and  claw  feet.  Solid  brass 
trimmings.  The  finish  is  in  golden  oak,  our  richest  five-coat  piano  polish.

Just  a Word  about  Leather  Goods 

There  is  much  opportunity  for  deception  in  making  upholstered  furniture  (especially  leather  goods)  for  almost 
any  grade  of  covering  and  springs  can  be  used  at  the  same  time  producing  a handsome  effect  on  the  outside  but  the 
lasting  qualities  so  essential  in  furniture  of  this  character  are  rarely  present.  Library  furniture  is  a permanent  invest- 
ment and  should  be  selected  with  greatest  care.  It  is  also  well  to  bear  in  mind  the  manufacturer’s  reputation. 

“Macey”  furniture  is  constructed  not  merely  to  look  well  but  to  last  a lifetime. 

The  bases  of  all  our  couches  and  rockers  are  substantially  constructed  from  perfect  stock. 

The  finish  is  all  hand  rubbed  to  a beautiful  polish. 

The  springs  are  of  best  quality  oil-tempered  steel.  They  never  lose  their  elasticity,  become  misplaced  or  break. 

The  understuffing  is  of  best  southern  moss,  which  is  a feature  of  high  grade  goods  only.  Such  material  as 
goat’s  hair,  excelsior,  old  rags,  etc.  are  never  used  in  our  goods. 

The  cushions  are  of  finest  imported  curled  horse  hair.  They  are  firm,  yet  soft  and  will  retain  their  shape 
indefinitely. 

The  leather  is  finest  machine  buffed  stock.  It  is  pliable,  does  not  stretch  and  never  wears  rough,  same  as 
the  spongy  stock  used  in  much  of  the  furniture  sold  through  retail  dealers.  We  supply  olive  green  shade 
regularly — maroon  or  russet  to  order. 

Best  quality  anti-friction  castors  are  used  exclusively. 


GENUINE  MAHOGANY  AND  FINEST  LEATHER. 


This  luxurious  soft  cushioned  Davenport  is  a splendid  example  of  that  un- 
pretentious yet  rich  and  pleasing  design  which  will  be  as  popular  and  in  as  good 
taste  twenty  or  thirty  years  hence  as  it  is  now.  No  library  is  too  magnificient 
for  it  to  beautify  and  no  library  is  complete  without  it.  Our  net  factory  price  is 
about  one-halt  the  ordinary  retail  dealer’s  price. 

The  base  is  of  genuine  mahogany  with  hand  carved  claw  feet  all  richly 
polished.

No.  662  Turkish  Couch 

We  have  produced  few  couches  at  any  price  more  popular  and  satisfactory  than  our  No.  66->.  The  design 
is  very  pleasing — -the  extra  row  of  tufting  and  puffing  produces  a most  luxurious  and  handsome  effect. 

No.  662 — Length,  76  inches;  width,  29  inches;  weight,  140  pounds Price,  $59.00 

Gold  Medclls  For  superiority  of  design,  material,  construction,  workmanship  and  finish  we  received  the  Gold  Medal,  the

No.  677 
Turkish  Rocker 


There  is  something  about  a 
luxurious  Turkish  Rocker  that 
appeals  to  almost  everyone. 

All  our  furniture  is  designed 
with  a special  view  to  comfort 
and  we  guarantee  every  couch  and 
chair  manufactured  will  be  found 
not  only  the  best  of  its  kind  in 
material,  construction  and  finish 
but  exceedingly  comfortable  as 
well.  Our  No.  677  pattern  is  a 
simple  though  handsome  and 
dignified  design  and  one  which  is 
appropriate  for  almost  any  library. 
Since  we  first  produced  this  pat- 
tern it  has  been  very  broadly 
imitated  by  some  unscrupulous 
manufacturers  who  use  inferior 
material  in  construction  and  offer 
it  at  prices  for  which  no  reliable 
chair  can  be  sold.  Advertised 
low  prices  without  the  high  quality 
so  essential  to  furniture  of  this 
description  do  not  appeal  to  intel- 
ligent purchasers. 

No.  677 — Width,  33  inches, 
height,  41  inches,  weight,  xoo 
pounds. 

Price $59.00 

Price  with 

Harrington  spring  65.00 


For  our  “guarantee’’  and  ‘ liberal  terms”  see  page  1. 


No.  687 
Turkish  Rocker 


This  is  a particularly  luxurious,  re- 
fined and  attractive  design.  It  is 
moreover  a most  comfortable  rocker, 
having  full  spring  back,  seat  and  arms, 
relieving  them  of  the  rigidity  con- 
sidered objectionable  in  the  highest 
grade  of  rockers. 

Observe  the  beautiful  effect  pro- 
duced by  the  diamond  tufted  back  and 
arms.  As  a wedding  or  anniversary 
gift  for  a business  associate,  friend  or 
relative,  nothing  is  more  appropriate 
than  one  of  these  handsome  rockers. 

No.  687 — Width,  36  inches;  height, 
44  inches,  weight,  130  pounds. 

Price $84.00. 

Note — Unless  otherwise  specified 
we  supply  deep  olive  green  leather 
covering— maroon  or  russet  can  be 
furnished  to  order.

TERMS”  see  page  1. 

Gold  Medals 

For  superiority  of  design,  material,  con- 
struction, workmanship  and  finish  we  re- 
ceived the  Gold  Medal,  the  highest  award, 
at  both  the  Pan-American  and  Charleston 
Expositions.  See  page  1.

Turkish  Couches 


The  luxury  of  a soft  cushioned  comfortable  couch  is  placed  within  the  means  of  everyone.  Every  detail  in  the 
construction  of  these  couches  has  been  carefully  studied.  Observe  that  they  are  full  size,  finished  all  around  and 
if  desired  can  be  used  in  the  center  of  the  room.  For  detailed  description  of  material  construction  and  finish  see 
pages  18  and  19. 


The  spacious  box 
(8%x  24%  x 66  inches) 
will  accommodate  an 
abundance  of  furs, 
clothes  and  other  ma- 
terial which  should 
be  kept  perfectly 
moth  proof. 

An  ingenious  at- 
tachment (self  raising 
spring)  permits  the 
top  being  raised  with 
only  slight  effort. 
When  closed  the 
couch  presents  exact- 
ly the  appearance  of 
our  No.  662  shown 
on  page  18. 

No.  662% — Length  76  in.,  width  29  in.,  weight  150  pounds,  Price,  $80.00

Sectional  Bookcases 

(Patented  other  patents  pending-). 


Are  the  “Standard  of  the 
World’  for  quality.  They 
received  the  Gold  Medals — 
THE  HIGHEST  AWARDS— at 
both  the  Pan-American  and 
Charleston  Expositions.  They 
cost  more  to  make,  but  by 
buying  direct  from  us  (the 
makers)  the  cost  to  you  is 
about  the  s une  as  other  kinds 
(see  price  of  a popular  set  of 
sections  1 elovv. 


Superior  Advantages 

It  is  the  only  bookcasehaving  absolutely  “ N on-binding,  6V(/'-disappearing’  ’ doors 

It  combines  in  the  highest  degree,  convenience,  imposing 
appearance,  economy  of  space,  protection  to  books,  strength,  sim- 
plicity, all  at  small  expense. 

It  is  made  of  the  choicest  material  and  represents  in  design, woik- 
manship,  superior  mechanism  and  finish,  the  highest  type  of  excel- 
ence — the  very  best  that  skilled  labor  can  produce — there  is  no 
sectional  bookcase  so  full  of  style  or  so  well  finished. 

Its  extra  quality  and  frictionless  construction  of  “Non  Binding, 
/^(/’-Disappearing”  doors  is  as  far  in  advance  of  all  others  as  the 
mind  can  imagine.  It  recedes  automatically  upon  being  raised— no 
other  bookcase  has  this  feature — a door  that  cannot  in  any  way  bind, 
either  from  side  to  side  or  up  and  down — guaranteed  to  never  bind 
with  use  or  in  any  climate.  Even  when  the  door  is  pushed  in  from 
either  end  with  but  one  hand  it  cannot  bind.  The  ingenious  device 
accomplishing  this  most  important  action  enchances  the  value  of  the 
“Macey”  bookcase  many-fold.  The  mechanism,  though  so  simple 
that  it  is  guaranteed  to  never  get  out  of  order,  is  a considerable  item 
of  cost  in  manufacturing;  yet  the  “Macey”  sectional  bookcase  with 
all  its  highly  practical  improvements  and  extra  quality  of  material, 
construction  and  finish,  costs  about  the  same  as  common  ordinary  style 
of  poorly  made,  poorly  finished  sectional  bookcases,  with  binding, 
wiggly  doors  and  other  objectional  features  that  are  unknown  to 
the  “ Macey.” 

It  increases  book  space  to  meet  the  requirements  of  growing 
libraries,  large  and  small. 

Not  more  than  a dozen  books  are  necessary  to  start  with. 

Jrist  tke  correct  number  of  sections  can  be  bought  at  the  begin- 
ning and  added  to  one  by  one  as  the  necessity  demands. 

The  expense  of  beginning  is  very  small.  Eventually  an  impos- 
ing. complete  bookcase  of  many  sections  is  possessed,  yet  the 
expense  has  been  so  distributed  as  sections  have  been  added  from 
time  to  time  that  the  acquirement  has  not  seemed  a burden. 


Notice 


A patent  recently  acquired  by  us  grants  us  the  exclusive  right 
to  manufacture  sectional  bookcases  with  automatic  self-receding 
doors,  and  all  makers , sellers  and  users  of  sectional  bookcases  with 
self-receding  doors  are  liable  to  be  infringers  of  this  patent. 

There  has  never  been  any  doubt  that  the  “Macey”  Sectional 
Bookcase  is  the  best  on  the  market.  It  was  the  only  bookcase  re- 
ceiving the  Gold  Medals  at  both  the  Pan-American  and  Charleston 
Expositions.  With  the  finest  equipped  factory  in  the  world  these 
bookcases  are  now  being  made  better  than  ever  and  in  buying  direct 
from  us,  the  makers , the  cost  to  the  user  is  about  the  same  as  other 
kinds  and  carries  with  it  no  liability  on  account  of  possible  infring- 
ment  of  patents.  We  own  and  control  more  valuable  patents  on 
Sectional  Bookcases  than  any  other  factory  in  the  world.

We  are  the  only  Company  offering  customers  a choice  of  three  distinct  locking  devices  and  each  the  best 
of  their  kind.  We  have  a regularly  organized  department  for  this  class  of  goods  and  today  have  best  arranged — 
best  equipped  factory  in  the  world  for  manufacturing  High  Grade  Indexes  and  Filing  Cabinets  at  the  lowest

for  our  complete  catalogues  before  ordering.  These  catalogues  will  be  sent  free  on  request.  (See  page  24).  We 
manufacture  card  index  cabinets  with 


Three  Styles  of  Card  Locking  Devices 

(1)  “Macey”  Side  Locking  Rods  (patented).  Observe  that  practically  the  whole  card  surface  is 

available  for  writing. 

(2)  The  Solid  Center  Rod— guaranteed  superior  to  all  other  solid  center  locking  devices. 

(3)  Duplex  (folding)  Center  Rod  (patented) — guaranteed  superior  to  all  other  duplex  center  locking  devices. 


We  always  recommend  the  “Macey”  side  locking  device  for  economy  of  card  space,  strength,  rigidity  and 
certainty  of  action. 

Index  Cards 


That  part  of  our  factory  devoted  to  the  manufacture  of  index 
cards  is  equipped  with  the  latest  and  most  up-to-date  machinery,  en- 
abling us  to  furnish  our  superior  solid  linen  bristol,  cut  with  sharp 
clean  edges,  square  corners,  carefully  ruled  and  printed,  at  about  the 
same  prices  as  competitors  quote  on  inferior  grades.  The  cost  of 
card  index  material  is  so  small  as  compared  with  the  cost  of  compiling 
the  records  that  it  is  false  economy  to  purchase  anything  but  the  best. 
For  temporary  records  we  have  cheaper  grades,  and  samples  showing 
our  varied  weights  and  colors  will  be  cheerfully  sent  on  request. 

Applications 

The  “ Macey”  card  system  is  equally  well  adapted  for  the  small 
retail  business  and  the  largest  corporation.  Our  book  about 
“Business  System”  will  contain  suggestions  which  are  all  practical 
and  which  may  be  of  special  interest  to  you.  (See  page  24).

4 Single  Drawers  Card  Index  Cabinet 


“Rapid”  Sectional  Filing  Cabinets 


Are  the  standard  of  the  world  for  quality,  and  for  superiority  of  desisfn-material-construction-workinanship  and  finish,  “Macey” 
furniture  received  the  Gold  Medal — THE  highest  award— at  both  the  Pan-American  and  Charleston  Expositions. 


A few  years  ago  it  was  necessary  to  buy  a 
Letter  File  from  one  house,  a Card  System 
from  another,  a Document  File  from  still 
another,  etc. -all  of  different  sizes,  styles, woods 
and  finishes,  and  when  the  growth  of  business 
demanded  additional  filing  capacity,  further 
cabinets  and  systems  had  to  be  purchased  re- 
gardless of  their  not  harmonizing  with  the  bal- 
ance of  the  furniture  on  hand,  and  involving 
considerable  useless  expense  and  much  annoy- 
ance. 

With  the  “Macey”  Sectional  System  the 
interchangeable  cabinets  and  systems  for  the 
care  of  all  kinds  of  business  or  private  papers 
or  documents  can  be  so  arranged  as  to  present 
the  appearance  of  a single  cabinet,  and  more 
sections  may  be  added  at  any  time  without 
destroying  the  harmony  of  the  single  cabinet 
effect.  Compact — handsome — durable.  Also, 
the  cost  is  less. 

All  the  sections  will  harmonize  regardless

Vertical 

Filing  Cabinets 

Accuracy , quickness  and  con-ven- 
ience  are  the  prime  virtues  of  the 
“Macey”  Vertical  System  of  filing 
correspondence, catalogues,  circulars, 
pamphlets,  photographs,  flat  samples, 
etc.  It  has  so  many  advantages  over 
the  old  system  of  flat  files,  that  it  has 
become  the  popular  mode  of  filing. 

Durability  in  every  part  marks  the 
construction  of  these  cabinets.  The 
material  used  is  especially  selected  and 
every  cabinet  is  hand  rubbed  and  pol- 
ished. The  drawer  extension  device, 
guide  retaining  device,  follower  device 
and  automatic  locking  device  are 
mechanical  features  of  the  highest 
importance  and  of  unequalled  perfec- 
tion in  operation.  We  bfoadly  guar- 
antee there  is  nothing  in  this  line  as 
handsomely  or  as  perfectly  made.
